The ChildTrauma Academy is a unique collaborative of individuals and organizations working to improve the lives of high-risk children through direct service, research and education. We recognize the crucial importance of childhood experience in shaping the health of the individual, and, ultimately, society. By creating biologically-informed, child and family respectful practice, programs and policy The ChildTrauma Academy seeks to help maltreated and traumatized children. A major activity of the CTA is to translate emerging findings about the human brain and child development into practical implications for the ways we nurture, protect, enrich, educate and heal children. The "translational neuroscience" work of the CTA has resulted in a range of innovative programs in therapeutic, child protection and educational systems.
| The CTA offers a range of live, web-based and distance training opportunities. The CTA provides clinical, program and research consultations. The clinical research activities of the CTA focus on the impact of maltreatment and trauma on the developing child.
